Last Sucker Story of thc Season Dîck Moore, Bitly Beal, Bob. Bond and -Seph. Seldon formed an expedition Lo patrol Lyr'de's creek on Tuesday night Moore was superintendent of the party and chief of commissionist. Beal took the spear and impaled everything in the creek that was longer than it was broad. Amuong other things he pierced three suckcrs by ac- cident. Seldon carried the gamne and Bond the liglit Moores tîmne was mainly taken up with mnaking holes in thc water, lor whicl. purpose he used bis body four or five tîmes. The expedition was a great succe-ss in evcry respect, and lasted uîîtil the partieýs arrived back. A Provincial road overseer. Sir Oliver Mowat bas writcn the followinp reply to a letter askîng bimn for information as to the duties of the new Road Commis- sioner : The proposition entertained h% the governmrrent does not contenîplate the expenditure of any money wbatevcr by the munîcîpalities. The woik of the commis- sioner wîll be exacîly educatîve i its charac terý It is proposed that during certain montha of the year he shahl collect in this country and ini Creign countries such infor niation as shall be available regarding what is beîng donc elscwhere for the improvement of highways. He will also prépare any litera- turc which it rnay, be considercd dt-sîrable to distribute in reference to ibis suhject. In addition to ibis it is proposed that the comn- mîissioner shaîl meet personally with road overseers and with the memrbers of township, town and village councils with a view of dis cussing the best nmethods of improving the ordinary higbways. It is also proposed that wherever an opportunity is aftorded he shal supcrintend a section of a road as a sort of patterai or ideal towards which overseers may work. The Minister of Agriculture bas al- ways firmly refused to entertain the idea, of making any radical changes in legisîstion as to the labor employed on the roada. or to give countenance to any acheme of taxation such as bas bees proposed by some wbo have discusscd the matter. The theory of the Goverument is that we ought at present to work along the firnes of educating thc people as to how they ïnay, througb the present system, better utilize the labor now employed in road making." Miss Ftlers recita.l. The recital given in the Music hall on Tuesday evening, by Miss Fidler's choral clasa, assisted by several fir ber clasa of instrumental music, was a most pleasing and delightftil entertainment. A glance at the stage wtth its forty b>eautiful choristers ar- tisticallly grouped and then over thse hall where scarcely a mas was te be secs amonu the assemnblec audience reminded ose ol our modern notions of heaven, but our own pt-e- sence soon remnoved any sucb delusion. The instrumental class took number about with the choral clasa and from the applause falrly dividcd the hosors. The singleg sud play- ing of tbe juveniles received well merited op- plause, and although the programme -an- nounced twenty-four numbers, a few encores were insisted upon, and geaerally respond- cd to.

Adjutant Miller, of the salvatios army, in command of a brigade consisting of Drumn- mer Ellisun, made an unexpected and pre- cipitate descent upôn Locktown on Tuesday night to drive the devil out of that benighted section of the town.
